The 12" watennain has been constructed, tested and the <br /> I National Guard is now being served by the City of Arden Hills. <br /> During the design phase ofthis project you as the City's Engineer Consultant required us to increase <br /> I the 10" watermain to a 12" watermain. We have assumed all along that the increase in size was for <br /> the City's expansion needs since the Guard's facility has always been served with a 10" pipe and has <br /> no plans for future expansion. <br /> I Unfairly you have placed the burden upon MelchertlBlock to provide calculations to show only a 10" <br /> II pipe is needed to serve the facility. I've tried unsuccessfully several times to obtain records offlow <br /> tests from nearby hydrants to perform these calculations. My last conversation with Duane Stafford <br /> indicated there are no flow tests near the facility that would be useful. <br /> . I'm sure as the City's Engineering Consultant you have the necessary data and must have performed <br /> some type of calculations to make the decision to increase the pipe size. <br /> I The National Guard is looking for justification for the pipe size increase and a final decision on the <br /> City's position on cost ssistance. Thank you for your help in this matter. <br /> I vezzs, <br /> I <br /> Jack M.
